I chose Georgetown over several schools, mainly because of its location, but immediately realized that it offers a lot more than just a perfect location. The diversity and the rich experiences that each person brings to the class and into your life truly make Georgetown an institution of excellence! The exposure that one gets from only being on campus goes without saying. In fact the hardest thing about being at Georgetown is choosing from the many events, lectures, talks, workshops that are so easily accessible.
